1Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
1耶穌設一個比喻,是要人常常禱告,不可灰心。
2“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
2說:「某城裏有一個官,不懼怕上帝,也不尊重世人。
3And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
3那城裏有個寡婦,常到他那裏,說:『我有一個對頭,求你給我伸冤。』
4For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
4他多日不准, 後來心裏說:『我雖不懼怕上帝,也不尊重世人,
5yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’”
5只因這寡婦煩擾我,我就給她伸冤吧,免得她常來纏磨我!』」
6And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
6主說:「你們聽這不義之官所說的話。
7Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help?
7上帝的選民晝夜呼籲他,他縱然為他們忍了多時,豈不終久給他們伸冤嗎?
8I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
8我告訴你們,要快快地給他們伸冤了。然而,人子來的時候,遇得見世上有信德嗎?」
9To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
9耶穌向那些仗着自己是義人,藐視別人的,設一個比喻,
10“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
10說:「有兩個人上殿裏去禱告:一個是法利賽人,一個是稅吏。
11The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
11法利賽人站着,自言自語地禱告說:『上帝啊,我感謝你,我不像別人勒索、不義、姦淫,也不像這個稅吏。
12I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
12我一個禮拜禁食兩次,凡我所得的都捐上十分之一。』
13But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
13那稅吏遠遠地站着,連舉目望天也不敢,只捶着胸說:『上帝啊,開恩可憐我這個罪人!』
14I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
14我告訴你們,這人回家去比那人倒算為義了;因為,凡自高的,必降為卑;自卑的,必升為高。」
15Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.
15有人抱着自己的嬰孩來見耶穌,要他摸他們;門徒看見就責備那些人。
16But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
16耶穌卻叫他們來,說:「讓小孩子到我這裏來,不要禁止他們,因為在上帝國的正是這樣的人。
17Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
17我實在告訴你們,凡要承受上帝國的,若不像小孩子,斷不能進去。」
18Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18有一個官問耶穌說:「良善的夫子,我該做甚麼事才可以承受永生?」
19“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
19耶穌對他說:「你為甚麼稱我是良善的?除了上帝一位之外,再沒有良善的。
20You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”
20誡命你是曉得的:『不可姦淫;不可殺人;不可偷盜;不可作假見證;當孝敬父母。』」
21“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
21那人說:「這一切我從小都遵守了。」
22On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
22耶穌聽見了,就說:「你還缺少一件:要變賣你一切所有的,分給窮人,就必有財寶在天上;你還要來跟從我。」
23But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
23他聽見這話,就甚憂愁,因為他很富足。
24Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
24耶穌看見他,就說:「有錢財的人進上帝的國是何等的難哪!
25Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25駱駝穿過針的眼比財主進上帝的國還容易呢!」
26Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26聽見的人說:「這樣,誰能得救呢?」
27But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
27耶穌說:「在人所不能的事,在上帝卻能。」
28“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
28彼得 說:「看哪,我們已經撇下自己所有的跟從你了。」
29“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
29耶穌說:「我實在告訴你們,人為上帝的國撇下房屋,或是妻子、弟兄、父母、兒女,
30will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”
30沒有在今世不得百倍,在來世不得永生的。」
31Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
31耶穌帶着十二個門徒,對他們說:「看哪,我們上 耶路撒冷 去,先知所寫的一切事都要成就在人子身上。
32He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
32他將要被交給外邦人;他們要戲弄他,凌辱他,吐唾沫在他臉上,
33They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
33並要鞭打他,殺害他;第三日他要復活。」
34But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.
34這些事門徒一樣也不懂得,意思乃是隱藏的;他們不曉得所說的是甚麼。
35As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
35耶穌將近 耶利哥 的時候,有一個瞎子坐在路旁討飯。
36When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
36聽見許多人經過,就問是甚麼事。
37“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
37他們告訴他,是 拿撒勒 人耶穌經過。
38So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
38他就呼叫說:「 大衛 的子孫耶穌啊,可憐我吧!」
39Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39在前頭走的人就責備他,不許他作聲;他卻越發喊叫說:「 大衛 的子孫,可憐我吧!」
40Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had been brought near, Jesus asked him,
40耶穌站住,吩咐把他領過來,到了跟前,就問他說:
41“What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
41「你要我為你做甚麼?」他說:「主啊,我要能看見。」
42“Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
42耶穌說:「你可以看見!你的信救了你了。」
43Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people who saw this gave praise to God.
43瞎子立刻看見了,就跟隨耶穌, 一路 歸榮耀與上帝。眾人看見這事,也讚美上帝。
